The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Chapter 376 The correct way to blackmail someone!

"If this is the case, we won't be able to continue consuming the Qingyuan Dynasty." Ye Feng pondered for a moment. He naturally knew very well that if he continued to be in a stalemate with the Qingyuan Dynasty.

When the Three Kingdoms coalition forces attacked the Song Dynasty, they would also include Zhao Du, the King of Pingxi, Zhao Yunfei, the King of Dongxuan, and Zhao Changlin, the Lord of Changlin.

If a war really breaks out, with internal and external troubles, even he will be powerless to reverse the situation. Even if he can win in the end, the entire Song Dynasty will probably be finished.

Thinking of this, he had already made a decision in his heart: "I have received the message, you go back and report!"

"As ordered!"

The middle-aged man bowed and walked outside.

Ye Feng looked at the man's back, thoughtfully. It turned out that money makes the world go round. Shen San continued to expand his business, and no one doubted his identity as a businessman.

As expected, money makes things easier. He secretly used the money earned from business to recruit intelligence personnel. These people changed all the time, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the constant flow of information they passed on to Shen San.

As long as Shen San and Cao Er continue to grow and develop, the intelligence of the dense network will be able to cover the entire Kyushu, and its role will be greater.

Ye Feng looked at Wei Xian outside and said, "Eunuch Wei, go tell all the generals to come to the central army camp. I have something to convey."

"Follow the order!"

Wei Xian is now full of admiration for Ye Feng. He has witnessed the rise and fall, glory and disgrace of the Song Dynasty for decades, but he has never seen a talent like Ye Feng.

Footsteps were heard, and soon generals such as Li Shanxiao and Su Qingzhi were seen arriving at the central army camp.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Ye Feng did not keep them in suspense and said directly: "The Great Song Dynasty may face a crisis next. We must withdraw our troops from the Qingyuan Dynasty and return to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, the generals felt a little regretful. They had finally managed to attack the capital of the Qingyuan Dynasty. If they retreated now, all their efforts would be in vain.

However, they did not question Ye Feng's words and believed them firmly.

"General Li, take the cavalry and go around outside Wufeng City. Don't fight hard." Ye Feng looked at Li Shanxiao. He didn't expect that Pei Yuanji, the emperor of the Qingyuan Dynasty, could sit still and not send troops to attack or anyone to negotiate.

If Ye Feng knew that Pei Yuanji had already sent people to Jinling City to propose a marriage, would he still think so?

The reason why he sent Li Shanxiao was to put some pressure on the Qingyuan Dynasty so as to speed up the pace of the Qingyuan Dynasty coming for peace talks.

"As ordered!"

Li Shanxiao never questioned Ye Feng's orders, he just obeyed them.

"General Su led the White Robe Army to go out and walk around Jiayun Pass. Since we have come to Jiayun Pass, we can't just return empty-handed, right?"

Ye Feng wanted to give it a try and sent out a large army to test it. He really didn't believe that Pei Yuanji, the emperor of the Qingyuan Dynasty, could be as stable as a rock.

The generals did not quite understand what Ye Feng meant. What benefit could Ye Feng get by sending Li Shanxiao and Su Qingzhi without attacking Wufeng City? If he did not return empty-handed, what else could he do?

"As ordered!"

Su Qingzhi didn't know what Ye Feng meant, but he was very clear that since following Ye Feng, everything the other party did must have a meaning. As a general under Ye Feng, he only needed to do it.

……

Wufeng City.

"Report! Report! Enemy attack!"

Zhang Yuanliao had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and before he even set foot on the ground, he heard urgent voices coming from outside. His face changed drastically, and he rushed to the courtyard, grabbed his weapon, and rushed out of the City Lord's Mansion, shouting loudly: "All troops, listen to my orders, follow me to the city wall to defend against the enemy."

Da da da……

Li Shanxiao took the cavalry for a walk outside Wufeng City. According to Ye Feng's instructions, he did not take any action and turned to head towards Jiayun Pass.

The white-robed army led by Su Qingzhi also arrived outside Wufeng City just half an hour later. They shouted for a long time but did not actually attack Wufeng City.

"Send someone to report to Your Majesty. We don't know what the enemy is doing. They are frantically trying to attack Wufeng City. Your Majesty, please make preparations in advance." Zhang Yuanliao did not dare to be careless. When he saw the enemy attacking, he ordered someone to report to Pei Yuanji.

……

Yehe City, in the court.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is constantly probing outside Wufeng City and is likely to launch an attack. Your Majesty, please make preparations early."

The spies sent by Zhang Yuanliao arrived at the court early, knelt on the ground, and reported to Pei Yuanji.

"Damn it! What on earth does this Ye Feng want to do? I have already agreed to marry them and exchange Dayuan war horses. What else does he want? Does he really think that our Qingyuan Dynasty is easy to bully?"

Pei Yuanji's face turned a little ugly. A few days ago, he sent Qiu Zheng, the Minister of Rites, to Jinling City to discuss the marriage alliance.

Now Ye Feng is outside Wufeng City, and there are frequent unusual movements. It is very likely that they are really going to attack Wufeng City, which does give him a headache.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites Qiu Zheng is here to see you outside the palace!" At this moment, a sharp voice was heard outside the court. Qiu Zheng had been traveling for several days and returned to Yehe City. He couldn't wait to pass on the news of the failed marriage to the Emperor and the Prime Minister.

"Hurry up!"

A smile appeared on Pei Yuanji's face. They took the initiative to seek marriage with the Song Dynasty and were willing to trade Dayuan war horses. He really couldn't think of a reason for the Song Dynasty to refuse.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. When I first proposed marriage to the Song Dynasty, the Empress of Song Dynasty flatly refused." Qiu Zheng knelt in the court and told the whole story of his trip to Jinling City.

After listening to Qiu Zheng's report, Pei Yuanji became even more panicked. He felt that since the Song Dynasty refused the marriage, they must be confident in continuing to attack Wufeng City and Yehe City.

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Pei Yuanji looked at Li Guozhong. It was he who proposed the idea of ​​marriage. At that time, he was confident that it would succeed. However, he did not expect to be rejected directly. It was really beyond his expectations.

Li Guozhong was still confident, "Your Majesty, I have always heard that the Queen of Song Dynasty is obsessed with martial arts and does not care about state affairs. This time she suddenly jumped out to refuse, it must be because she has an unusual relationship with Ye Feng and does not want Princess Qingyan to marry Ye Feng. Since the marriage is not feasible, why don't we go directly to Jiayun Pass and discuss it with Ye Feng face to face."

"I'll leave this matter to you. As long as the enemy withdraws within three days, you can see what conditions they want. As long as they are not too excessive, you can agree to them." Pei Yuanji was too lazy to ask about it and handed it over to Li Guozhong.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will not fail in my mission!"

Li Guozhong bowed and received Pei Yuanji's verbal order, and things became much easier.

Ultimately, the purpose of any country going to war is nothing more than resources, territory, and money.

He has always believed that when two armies are fighting, as long as the benefits offered are great enough, the enemy will have no reason to stay and consume each other. In that case, the war will be meaningless.
